I am aware of several Award Shows for Indie Gospel Artists Such as the Diamond Awards in Pigeon Forge, or the Agape King Country Awards and a few others.   Whatw I would like to do is get a Blog or a separate page where the award shows coming up are listed so that we all know when they will be, which artists were selected to be a nominee in which categories and so forth. It would be an interesting Caption Title for the Indie Newspaper/ 

For instance, Jim Sheldon had a nice showing in the Diamond Awards this year. Congratulations to Jim.  Pete Etterman is nominated in several categories in the Agape Country King Awards as well as Marsha Sue Mitchell, good luck in placing and possibily winning at the Agape King Country Awards (I hope I am sayng that right)

Also Marsha Sue Mitchell won big in Branson, MO  that is so very cool,, congratulations to you Marsha Sue! 

Then there is our own Annual Awards for the top songs of the year of...

First of all let me take care of business first ...  If anyone knows how to reach Jimmy Workman or Olivia (SoDivine) please contact me, or them and let them know that I am trying to reach them and it is very important.  Thanks ..

Now,

The New Top Ten is Updated and ready for you to check it out. But I am doing something new ... The BULLET SONG?

I will not be posting it on the Top Ten list until after Saturday's Radio Show ... because I will announce it on the Show at the very beginning of the show.  instead of playing the #3 song of the Top Ten .. I will play the Bullet Song instead.. After it plays I will give the title and author of the song and any relating info I have for it.  It will be fun .. all the listeners will wonder, What song made the Bullet Song this week? This week will be the first time...

I wrote this article in 08 and it seems that at times I feel there needs to be a refresher to be spoken on behalf of the Lord Jesus Christ.  After reading this article you feel a bit different when you hear someone tell of a vision or prayer or conversation with God.  This is important stuff, very important, for without it, you are missing the very key that it takes to enter into the Kingdom of God. Let me explain by re-posting this message.
